She never knew my name

Least not the one my daddy gave me

I took off the way I came

Moonlight reflecting off the chrome

She didn't want my story, so I didn't have to lie

If I loved her it was only for a night

Living life on the run

You can't give your heart to no one

Your only friend is the setting sun

I didn't do what they said I done

I gotta stay one step ahead

Or one of these days I'm gonna wake up dead

Dropped in my tracks by a bullet from a lawman's gun

Oh, you can't rest a minute

When you're living on the run

The white lines on the road

That's the only trail I leave behind me

Been chasinghighline poles

Ever since the night I skipped out of town

Somewhere in the distance I where I need to be

All I care about right now is speed

Living life on the run

You can't give your heart to no one

Your only friend is the setting sun

I didn't do what they said I done

I gotta stay one step ahead

Or one of these days I'm gonna wake up dead

Dropped in my tracks by a bullet from a lawman's gun

Oh, you can't rest a minute

When you're living life on the run

Here they come no, gotta lay low

Done bent the law till the law got broke

Here they come now, gotta lay low

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Here they come now, they're closing in

Pack of blood hounds gonna catch my sent

Here they come now, now I'm gone again

Yeah

Living life on the run

You can't give your heart to no one

You can't rest a minute when you're living life on the run

No, you can't rest a minute when your're living life

On the run
